Yuan Ang was a famous minister in the early Western Han Dynasty, and during the period of Emperor Liu Heng of Han, he was appointed by Emperor Wen of Han because of his great talent and courage, and was protected by his brother Yuan Duo, and became a zhonglang.
Yuan Ang was insured and became a petty official
This official is not big or small, but he often has the opportunity to contact the emperor, and Yuan Duo is an upright person, and he is always outspoken and advised, and everything is only right for people, from the emperor's relatives and nobles to the princes and generals, and there are many people he has participated in.
Although Yuan Ang was reasonable, this kind of "low emotional intelligence" did not last long with the emperor, so Emperor Wen of Han found an opportunity to send him to the fiefdom of Liu Hao, the king of Wu at that time, to become the minister of Wu.
Before going to Wu to become an official, someone told Yuan Ang that Liu Hao, the king of Wu, wanted to rebel and advised him to pretend that he didn't care about anything and go without denouncing or advising. Yuan Ang did not have a dead eye, listened to this person's advice, and finally left the Wu Kingdom safely.
During the Wu Kingdom, Yuan Ang also did a "good thing", there was a guard in his palace, always with his maid eyebrows, was found by Yuan Ang, but he did not point it out. Then someone reported to him about the waiter's adultery with the maid, but Yuan Ang asked the informant not to be silent, so the matter was still not leaked.
Yuan Ang did not report the guards' actions
Who knew that the informant did not invite merit from Yuan Ang, but actually took this matter to blackmail the attendant, and the attendant was afraid in his heart, so he fled from Yuan Ang's mansion. After Yuan Ang knew, he did not hold the attendants responsible, but instead sent someone to find him back.
In order to reassure him, he continued to be called a friend. In order to let him help him block the mouth of the yo-yo, he also rewarded the maid to him, so that the two people could eventually become dependents.
After many years, Yuan Ang retired from Liu Hao, the king of Wu, and was later recalled by the emperor to serve as an official in the dynasty, and Emperor Jing of Han continued to appoint him and sent him as an envoy to the state of Wu. At that time, Liu Hao, the king of Wu, was uniting with several other princes to prepare for rebellion and self-reliance. Yuan Ang's arrival made Liu Hao, the king of Wu, very vigilant, believing that Yuan Ang had been sent by emperor Jing of Han to spy on him, so he decided to strike first.
Yuan Ang was ordered by Emperor Jing of Han to send an envoy to the State of Wu
King Wu quietly sent five hundred soldiers to surround Yuan An's residence, but Yuan An did not even notice. In the middle of the night, a figure flashed into Yuan Ang's bedroom, and Yuan Ang woke up violently, scared out of a cold sweat.
Only to hear this person say to Yuan Ang, "Liu Hao, the King of Wu, is going to kill you, you should leave quickly when it is dark, and you really can't leave at dawn!" ”
Yuan Ang was panicked and grateful, and asked busily, "Who are you?" ”
The man said, "Lord Yuan may have forgotten that I am the little follower who has fornicated with the maid in your house!" ”
Yuan Ang was shocked and very emotional after hearing this, and finally escaped from Liu Hao, the king of Wu, unharmed. In the end, the rebellion of Liu Hao, the king of Wu, lasted for many years and was put down by Zhou Yafu.
Therefore, within the scope of their own ability, people should appropriately tolerate the faults of others, and even observe the situation of others, and they will be able to obtain unexpected gains.
Not only Yuan Ang, but also the King of Chu Zhuang, who was absolutely feasting, the same? Maybe the ancients also knew which was more important than the other.
